Replacement for Cards based on new FAQs

By Mesrob, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Guys,

Will FFG provide replacement cards that are updated based on a new FAQ? For example, the Battlefield Leadership ability for Leia Organa's Campaign and Skirmish cards are wrong based on the new FAQ. Will FFG provide us with new updated cards if we write them, or are we out of luck? I know they replace damaged miniatures, but was not sure about various cards from IA that are updated via a new FAQ. Thanks for your time everyone.

No, the cards are not considered missing or damaged.

If you buy a reprint, it should already have the fixed card. If you get promo cards from tournaments, they'll have the new text.

If needing to remember the new text (most are really obvious changes) bothers you enough, you can print out the cards.

Which cards have been corrected via OP kits?

I believe just the Saboteurs, Officers and Royal Guards.

Is there a Leia promo card? (In any case it wouldn't really matter since her change was more of a rules-lawyery wording thing)

Yes, Leia was available at Worlds '16, IIRC.

To satisfy my OCD, can someone tell me what the change was? I can't seem to figure it out.

I don't remember the exact wording, but it was in her Battlefield Leadership ability. They changed it from something like "choose a friendly figure within 3 spaces" to perform the second attack to "choose another friendly figure...". By the letter of the original wording she could technically attack, choose herself, and then attack again.

Ah yes! You are correct. That's a huge difference really.

And yes the alt card was corrected.

FWIW, Leia was not a functional errata, it was an error that was corrected as soon as the error was pointed out.

The functionally errata'd figures, officers, guards, and sabs, have been released by FFG as promos in vast quantities and can be obtained for cheap on ebay.

Are there any other tabletop games that provide players with replacement components after issuing corrections? Surely many many board game companies aside from FFG release updates and FAQs to rulebooks and components. I am curious where all this entitlement is coming from, if people are being spoiled by other game companies or something.
